About this property

Cute Seaside Cottage 10 Minutes Walk to Village. This cottage/gite is in a coastal setting.

La Crèche is one of the 3 Gîtes de Kerdalidec which are surrounded by fields on the very edge of the village but within walking distance of the centre where you will find a supermarket and restaurants. The building is about 200 years old and was completely renovated in 1998. The clean, sandy beach is only 2km away. Come and have an unforgettable holiday in this unspoilt and untouristy part of Brittany. The rugged coastline and little hidden coves are spectacular at any time of year.
 
La Crèche provides comfortable, family accomodation decorated in the rustic French style. It has 2 bedrooms and is ideal for a family of 5. It is heated by a woodburning stove and very cosy for winter holidays. The french windows in the lounge lead out into the enclosed private garden but you also have free access to the huge shared garden where you will find a play area and animals to feed - chickens, rabbits and little rare-breed black sheep. WIFI is available in the cottage.

The beaches in this area are beautiful, clean and have white sand. We are not affected by the green seaweed which causes problems further up the coast.

For babies we can provide a cot, high-chair, stair-gates and toys. The windows have black-out blinds.

Bed-linen if required is 8€ per person or you are welcome to bring your own.

End of stay cleaning can be paid for if you don't wish to clean yourselves.

I live next door and am always available for help and advice although I am careful to keep my distance unless required!

9.3 / 10 sandygent 28 September, 2017

Beautiful rural location, glimpses of the sea and yet close enough to walk into the little town with all the amenities. Deborah was an excellent, well informed and friendly host. We would love to go back.

9.7 / 10 Ron Perry 29 August, 2016

When we arrived we were very pleased with the accommodation, it was even better than the photos in the brochure. A bottle of Sparkling Cider and Sweet biscuits were also left for us. The area was beautiful with fantastic beaches and local markets with such a wonderful array of produce you can only dream of. The local village is just a 5 minute walk where there are lovely little shops and TWO bread shops where you can buy the best cakes in the World. The owner Deborah was very friendly and helpful

WE WILL BE GOING BACK NEXT YEAR FOR SURE

Owner response

Thanks Ron, it was so nice that your daughters made friend with the other visitors so they could all play together. Look forward to your next visit.

We found the gite charming and spent a happy week there. Though small in scale, it was adequate for our needs (we are 3), and has a lovely enclosed back garden as well as easy parking out front. I would describe it as romantic rather than chic: it has a 'lived-in' quality, and the downstairs furnishings are retro rather than new. This only matters practically if you need a comfortable sofa that gives good back support, or if a roomy shower cubicle is a must. I would also guess that the very steep staircase to the upper floor would not suit anyone with restricted mobility, such as arthritis, especially if using the loo at night is important (the WC is downstairs). The Wi-Fi service is excellent: reliable and fast. The beds are comfortable, and the children's bedroom is delightful. It looks very much as it does on the website. The landlady lives on site and was extremely welcoming and helpful both during the booking process and while we were there. She keeps sheep, chickens, and rabbits in the communal back garden (which also has swings and hammocks); it was a pleasure to visit and feed them. The gite is very conveniently situated for the local village (easy-access croissants in the morning) and for towns, beaches, coastal walks, etc,. in the area. We were visiting this part of Brittany for the first time and absolutely loved it for its varied coastline, agricultural economy, and range of outdoor activities. The restaurant Au Temps de Voiles (Le Diben) is not to be missed.
